one of my favorite videos from Max and Lee... happy, content, peaceful together, loving life. This is how I want to remember this trio. Happier days, before the heartbreak. "In loving you, I am forever changed."
Max Honor your time in life with Lee . Our hearts are with you and her family at this very sad time. But she loved you. And the time yous had was special. Stay safe always. RIP Lee. 💔💫
Unfortunately I found out about Max & Lee just recently. So much love there. My brother took his own life and shattered my world. Please never make a permanent decision for a temporary situation. Gone too soon, but her love and light shines on in these videos.
RIP Lee, u were such a beautiful person with apt of light to shine. I never would have known your struggle even as a former RN that has been on my own mental health journey. It is soo stigmatized but life can be very cruel, painful, and unbearable journey at times and my heart aches for you that someone pushed you to the point of no return. Lots of love and I hope you are in a beautiful pain free place also known as heaven!
Rewatching your videos....remembering better times.... it’s like she’s still here...forever beautiful and young! I’m glad she got to live such a huge full life since it wasn’t meant to be a long one! ♥️
I’m not so sure she was “meant” to die young. This series of videos is so well done I just can’t help but wonder what Lee might be doing if she hadn’t felt so desperate to end her life. It sure seems as if van life can be hazardous to ones health. Especially if your a woman. 🤷🏼♀️
@@islandbirdw van life wasn’t “hazardous” to her health….it was the hateful trolls who relentlessly bullied her online (mostly here on RUclips). She was treated awfully, called horrible names, mainly by one asshole who (i believe) was jealous of Max and her relationship. He was a wannabe Vanlife RUclipsr who took pleasure in being a prick. He’s gone from here now and has to live with knowing that all the horrible shit he said and harm he caused took a life!
@@beautybyleanne76”Hazardous” “risky, dangerous” It’s the risky part, exposing your life on YT comes with its own set of inherent risks. One of which is exposing yourself to strangers on line. So yes IMO exposing ones lifestyle on a public website like RUclips comes with its own set of hazards. Gabbie & Lee are casualties.
I didn’t know you :( my family lives in SB and saw this awful incident on the news..I am so sorry for your pain and how you suffered..hope you are in a better place 🌈
16:02 - my absolutely favorite scene. So simple, so touching. I just hope i get to live similar moments in my life and that i'll b e able to enjoy them like you guys. Best regards to everyone reading this. Peace
AHHH!! Guatape was our favourite spot in Colombia!! We often talk about how awesome a little house on the lake there would be. So much fun to return to the rock climb with the two of you! Did you get eaten by a bunch of tiny bugs at the top!??!! Great video friends. Can't wait to see you soon XX
I think it'd be great to hear about your language journey. How you get around in each place, where you've found it harder/easier to communicate and why... Also, how do you guys know where it's safe and where it isn't (country and city wise)? And as a side note...I adore when you use Google maps to show us where you are or what your route is for the day. Puts it into perspective since I'm not familiar with the geography of many cities you mention. Thanks for taking us along! It gets better and better. ~Meredith
Great suggestions!! Thank you for these 😊 Just quickly, in terms of safety, we have found most places to be quite safe but we also always use the app iOverlander for camp spots and it has warnings about places that are unsafe. Good point on the google maps! We didn't include it in this one as we already had so much content but we will try to keep incorporating it in future travel vlogs! Thank you for being a part of it!! ❤️
Love seeing your google map Love seeing the episode when Occy was in the front seat the wind blowing in his hair 🤗 Love how you showed us the inside of the hostel... Coffee and breakfast. So did u get to take a shower there too? If it is not to private will u share an estimated price of the places u sleep so my sister and can plan a trip. ❤️ when u share your meals.
Love whatever you post, always authentic and fun, as well as our regular Occie oxytocin surge. Really like when you go deeper into the challenges for the locals and surrounding ecology, they're the ones that tend to stay with us, the volcano, manatees and daily river crossings. We're also having Sprinter challenges, so totally empathise, had a close one yesterday when the steering failed on a motorway. Needs mending with a new one now, I reckon! Happy travels, folks and thanks for another great video!
Thank you for the feedback Debra! And yes we love when we get the chance to delve deeper too! We just have to keep our eyes peeled for opportunities to do so. And oh no! That sounds potentially dangerous!! Glad you came out of it ok. It is definitely a love hate relationship with the sprinters ; )
I love van tours! I love how each vanliferer fills their van with their own unique details. And the handmade humus looks amazing! I've never tried making humus by hand. Colombia is such a beautiful country! Amazing video, as always! I look forward to Sundays when you post a new video.
So do we Anne! It is so interesting how each person allocates different priorities for their tiny homes! South by van made us realize we need to be collecting more trinkets from the road : ) Thank you so much for watching and the kind words! ❤️
Loving your videos! Sitting here in bed in Melbourne Australia resting with severe morning sickness, crocheting a hat and able to see your wonderful, inspring adventure at the same time! Thank you! xo
i totally love max and lee + occy. what i'd like? for starters, maybe for you guys not to worry so much about what you think we'd like to see! no really. for example, worrying about us getting motion sickness from some footage of a rocky road. for me, without some of those real life nitty gritty moments, it can feel a little...well, sanitized. eating is great, whether out or in! sightseeing is great! sunrises & sunsets! amazing vistas! new friends on the road! the many kindnesses shown by total strangers! your real anxiety and fear about events! regular daily stuff for you, so we can compare our daily routines lol. vehicle issues (and how they're solved)! your love and delight in each other, and this amazing world we inhabit. you're quite extraordinary people on an extraordinary adventure. with the great kindness and generosity to share your journey with us. and i, for one, enjoy those moments of stunning natural beauty more, by seeing the direct contrast of some of the obstacles it's taken to get there -- like those scary river crossings in Costa Rica! i feel blessed to have been invited to share your journey. so no worries. enjoy. :)
That view from the rock parking lot was incredible. Making me want to go for a swim. And then the Escobar estate, just beautiful property. The lake looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Colombia is absolutely gorgeous! It’s so nice to see the footage of Pablo Escobars house, wow dance floor/bar on the top, next to a lake! Whoo! Occy is so precious, love seeing him in the video❤️
Beautiful Video, especially that Penion mountain, that you can go to the top.Excellent view, so Cute to see Occy raced to go up.Delicious food cooked by Max & Lee .And seeing Occy meet so many new doggy friends.A wonderful opportunity to meet other people who built thier van and are also on journeys. Thanks, for sharing.All Blessings to everyone.Amen !🙏❤🙏🤗
I would like to see your normal day in all videos, with all details. Thats it. That includes travel + van + you guys. From morning you wake till you go to sleep. Nothing can be more interesting.
Thanks guys. Absolutely beautiful. Hope the van engine problems are fixed. Hard to find beautiful or extraordinary places that you won't find tourist. It's the nature of the beast. Love your videos, whatever they are about.
Very true Steve! The nice thing about the van though is it can often get us to those spots at different hours from the peak tourist time 😉. We were just a bit late off the mark with the rock haha. We hope the engine is fixed too! Thanks mate!
What did you think guys?? Make sure you leave your suggestions for upcoming informative videos in the comments below 🤗 Have a wonderful Sunday! PS Don't forget to check out our friends @southbyvan on Instagram! They have unreal photos!!!
You guys have inspired hundreds of thousands of people to live and enjoy vanlife visiting places and collecting memories and experiences. I too dream of having a vanlife just like you guys are. Thank you for those passive adventures and experiences 💕
@@MaxLeeandOccy hola San Carlos es para Ustedes 😯 oh sorry San Carlos it's for you guys; Jardin, Concepción, Jericó and Santuario lovely small towns 😉😉😉
Great video! I loved when Lee turned the camera to Max and said, “Here’s the best view.” Also, when you filmed making dinner. That whole scene brought me in a little closer as a viewer. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
I enjoy the “day in the life” type videos. Doesn’t matter that you might not travel but just do chore type things. It’s good to get real about van life and not just the beautiful days. Thanks for allowing us to share your adventures!
Thank you two for all that you do for this YT community :) I love how seamlessly you guys are able to blend business and authenticity. I've grown inspired to get my own van within the next three years. Can you guys go into greater detail on what exactly to look for? How much mileage is too much mileage? Are stock rims best? What kind of wheels are most suitable? What are your must have tools for the start of conversion? What things would you guys do differently on your next van and why? Forgive me if these questions have been answered in previous videos already but I can never complain about Max & Lee :)
As usual another cool , authentic , witty , informative ,genuine , and thoroughly lovable video, please don't change whom you are,we love how your always upbeat.just stay true to yourselves and let us see through your eyes what you see, in other words whatever you video we love to see.Cheers and safe and happy travels to you all,much love and respect.xxx
Great video, it's like we are really there with you seeing the amazing sights. For a different type of film, how about one for om the perspective of Occy? E. G. A day in the life of a van life dog.
Thanks Ryan!! And we have actually made one of those a few n=months back in El Salvador but perhaps we need another! Thank you for being a part of the adventure!
Amazing! The places you three have been to, just simply amazing! I'm so glad I found your RUclips channel, I'm a total fan. Thank you for sharing and safe travels! 🚐
Yay! I personally find videos about the technical side very interesting, since knowing how everything works around the van is key for being on the road. Something like common problems with Sprinters and how to fix them. Also, you can really see how your videography skills keep on improving. Love it!
Loving your videos. I live in a beautiful country (Wales uk) and I tune in to your videos to see equally beautiful places. Give Occy a hug from me and best of luck to both of you on your journey. Matt
Oh my word what a gorgeous area! That amazing rock and the view there and then ending up at Pablo's beautiful and fascinating ruin? Wow... Just wow! Thank you so much for sharing!
Amazing footage! hope you get to love my city as much as I do enjoy the coffee, the food ( so many weird and yummy fruit) and all the things that Medellín has to offer you, there are some really cool hiking and cultural spots you can visit while you’re here... can’t wait to your next video, if you want some advice I’m willing to help you 🇨🇴
You've upped your editing game big time. Lovely video. Is that a hostel you were in? But you slept in your van? I'd love to know what you guys are upto when you're not filming for a vlog. What do you do all day...every day? (Like I go to work from 9 to 5 to work behind a desk. How exciting eh?) Just a regular routine day video would be nice.
Thanks Mona! And yes, well it is a 'guest house' but pretty much the same thing as a hostel, just a more homey vibe. And yes, that's why they are so great for overlanders, they let you stay in the van in the driveway but give you access to all their facilities (including kitchen, showers, toilet and wifi) at a much cheaper rate. It costs us around 10 bucks total for all 3 of us per night. Not bad for in the heart of the city! And you know what, we honestly don't know where all the days go haha. Thank you for the suggestion on a 'non travel' day in the life : )
Y’all are just so beautiful to look at individually and together!! I hope to find the connection that y’all have one day in my life!! Safe travels and good luck with the van! I look forward to sundays just for y’all! Peace and love always! -CaitDes! ❤️ ✌🏼
Wow guys. What a crystal clear beautiful video. I spent a month in Guatape. I would hike to "The Rock" from town everyday. The town itself is very picturesque also. I loved it.
Been waiting all day for this! The scenery is fabulous! That hugh rock--so incredible just sticking up there all alone! Your drone footage is really remarkable. I'd like to know if you are planning to travel in other countries now that you are in South America? I live on the shores of one of the Great Lakes and right now the temperature is 40 degrees, its raining and we have a gale warning! Colombia is looking pretty attractive to me at the moment.
Sorry to keep you waiting Ann 😉 And yeah it is crazy right! Such a beautiful & extraordinary sight! As for other countries in South America, at this point I would say yes but we truly are taking it country by country at this point in our journey. Each day is a gift and we are just doing our best to try to stay in the moment! Oh dear, that does not sound enticing. Stay safe Ann!!
@@MaxLeeandOccy Don't ever worry about the waiting thing--just gave me something to look forward to! I imagine living in the moment is pretty satisfying when the moments are filled with wonderful experiences, scenery and people! My moments are good now too with big whitecaps rolling in at me. As long as the power stays on and the furnace keep running--its all good! PS. I'm also pretty excited to see your subscribers closing in on 200,000!!!
Amazing! Great to see an Escobar relic, can imagine it would feel surreal being there. Also loving being a patreon, getting early access, patreon only content and being able to help support the amazing content that you guys put out. Thanks
It was crazy Brendon!! And thank you so much for your support as a Patron!! I honestly don't think we'd be able to keep producing content without the wonderful support from our Patreon family!!
Wonderful again! I"m enjoying catching up with you guys, as I've not been well and have missed you! Love your bamboo toothbrush! Thank you and sooooo good to see you all and Occy having fun with the new girl! Heheeeeeee Xo
I loved this! The drone footage is done so well 😍 I love the vlogs, cooking and more informational videos too ☺️💕 I’m glad things with the van are starting to look better! & I loved Occy in Pablo Escobar’s pool 😍🐶💕
@@MaxLeeandOccy but also stop to think...maybe that is exactly why you had this meteorical rise to almost 200k subs. You forget yourselves and give what people want and they lap it up (I do too...a big fan)!
Loving your videos, it makes me think how amazing it would be to just finally have the best time of your lives. I love how everything's surreal, such an inspiration!
I, for one, would really like that hummus recipe or maybe even a general cooking recipe with that as an example? I am not vegetarian or vegan, but would like hummus recipe that I could get behind.
I think everything is interesting. Buying grocery, Columbias history, its people, the plants - whatever. Great video as ever, thank you for taking us along
Really, whatever you share is going to be great. It is just something about the tow of you and Occy! You are all so lovable! I am so happy to see how quickly your channel has exploded and I am very impressed with how quickly your video filming and editing skills have skyrocketed. Just keep doing you!
I enjoy the travel and information part of the videos with the scenery of what is around in the areas you are in. Also any issues about dealing with locals and local services, merchants, etc. But in the end, I just enjoy whatever you guys post. Thanks for bringing us along. I appreciate it!
cooking vegan in the van videos would be awesome. like recipe videos :) i would like to start eating more vegan / vegetarian dishes and good recipes are much appreciated. your vlog was awesome, as always :D
Aww thank you Jasmin and great suggestions! Our friends Eamon and Bec are putting out a vegan ebook soon and we can't wait to start trying their recipes! Good on you for giving it a go 😊
This sounds exactly like Max......does Lee ever comment or just you? Lol jk mates I’m being silly but vegan is awesome and I love this channel along with its comments:):):) cheers! Y’all Rock💯God bless
Glad to see you both taking your vehicle maintenance very seriously on such a challenging trip. Installing an extra fuel filter and adding fuel injector cleaner to the fuel periodically will also minimize the clogging problems which the outlying areas are known for. You also both seem to be greatly de-stressed and very much at home in today’s video which is good to see. Looking forward to more videos of this higher caliber, so keep up the good work, have fun but always be aware of your surroundings to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Vaya Con Dios, amigos y tengan cuidado!
Awesome, interesting video! Now I understand why you wanted to go to So. America! The photos of the cities, the slums?the land are gorgeous!! Love that you both cook, share chores, etc. Look forward to the next one! 💜💚💙

RIP Lee, u were such a beautiful person with apt of light to shine. I never would have known your struggle even as a former RN that has been on my own mental health journey. It is soo stigmatized but life can be very cruel, painful, and unbearable journey at times and my heart aches for you that someone pushed you to the point of no return. Lots of love and I hope you are in a beautiful pain free place also known as heaven!
Rewatching your videos....remembering better times.... it’s like she’s still here...forever beautiful and young! I’m glad she got to live such a huge full life since it wasn’t meant to be a long one! ♥️
Must be hard for Max! watching these videos must hurt like crazy😔
I’m not so sure she was “meant” to die young. This series of videos is so well done I just can’t help but wonder what Lee might be doing if she hadn’t felt so desperate to end her life. It sure seems as if van life can be hazardous to ones health. Especially if your a woman. 🤷🏼♀️

Woof ❤️
Lee it's really nice to see you smiling a lot again...Travel On!!
You picked up vibes..
You both said “as you can tell” at the same EXACT time. my grandma used to tell me that’s when you know you have a soulmate.
Aww, grandparents are wise. We appreciate you sharing that with us xx
Max & Lee awww love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my word what a gorgeous area! That amazing rock and the view there and then ending up at Pablo's beautiful and fascinating ruin? Wow... Just wow! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching and being a part of the adventure!
My Sunday chill day just got Better 😉
Ha glad we could assist Anthony 😉
Love how the music sample from the late great curtis mayfields song “GIVE ME YOUR LOVE”Is used..👌🏻
Amazing footage! hope you get to love my city as much as I do
enjoy the coffee, the food ( so many weird and yummy fruit) and all the things that Medellín has to offer you, there are some really cool hiking and cultural spots you can visit while you’re here... can’t wait to your next video, if you want some advice I’m willing to help you 🇨🇴
Aww thank you Valentina and yes we are loving it so far!!! We would love some local tips on must go places/things to do 😊
its always good to give your man compliments on his smashing abilities
You've upped your editing game big time. Lovely video. Is that a hostel you were in? But you slept in your van? I'd love to know what you guys are upto when you're not filming for a vlog. What do you do all day...every day? (Like I go to work from 9 to 5 to work behind a desk. How exciting eh?) Just a regular routine day video would be nice.
Thanks Mona! And yes, well it is a 'guest house' but pretty much the same thing as a hostel, just a more homey vibe. And yes, that's why they are so great for overlanders, they let you stay in the van in the driveway but give you access to all their facilities (including kitchen, showers, toilet and wifi) at a much cheaper rate. It costs us around 10 bucks total for all 3 of us per night. Not bad for in the heart of the city!
And you know what, we honestly don't know where all the days go haha. Thank you for the suggestion on a 'non travel' day in the life : )
I really love watching your videos 😊
That guy cuts and spread the abocato over the bread with a knife. And they wonder why gringos get kiddnaped and killed.
@@lobomalsano and whats wrong with that ...
Y’all are just so beautiful to look at individually and together!! I hope to find the connection that y’all have one day in my life!! Safe travels and good luck with the van! I look forward to sundays just for y’all! Peace and love always!
-CaitDes! ❤️ ✌🏼
Aww thank you Caitlin! ❤️
I vostri vedeo sono una cera compagnia ... grazie...continuo a seguirvi
The aerial view that you incorporate into your videos are beautiful such awesome sound and camera quality great job guys!
I would love to see more conversations with the locals, interested to know how they feel about their respective countries 👍🏼😊🤔love you Occy🐶
We'll try but it's tricky to do with language and cultural barriers!
Wow guys. What a crystal clear beautiful video. I spent a month in Guatape. I would hike to "The Rock" from town everyday. The town itself is very picturesque also. I loved it.
A month there would be wonderful!! We would like to go back for longer.
Been waiting all day for this! The scenery is fabulous! That hugh rock--so incredible just sticking up there all alone! Your drone footage is really remarkable. I'd like to know if you are planning to travel in other countries now that you are in South America? I live on the shores of one of the Great Lakes and right now the temperature is 40 degrees, its raining and we have a gale warning! Colombia is looking pretty attractive to me at the moment.
Sorry to keep you waiting Ann 😉
And yeah it is crazy right! Such a beautiful & extraordinary sight!
As for other countries in South America, at this point I would say yes but we truly are taking it country by country at this point in our journey. Each day is a gift and we are just doing our best to try to stay in the moment!
Oh dear, that does not sound enticing. Stay safe Ann!!
@@MaxLeeandOccy Don't ever worry about the waiting thing--just gave me something to look forward to! I imagine living in the moment is pretty satisfying when the moments are filled with wonderful experiences, scenery and people! My moments are good now too with big whitecaps rolling in at me. As long as the power stays on and the furnace keep running--its all good! PS. I'm also pretty excited to see your subscribers closing in on 200,000!!!
Love you guys you look so happy and fulfilled what beautiful scenery such an inspiration thank you
Amazing! Great to see an Escobar relic, can imagine it would feel surreal being there. Also loving being a patreon, getting early access, patreon only content and being able to help support the amazing content that you guys put out. Thanks
It was crazy Brendon!! And thank you so much for your support as a Patron!! I honestly don't think we'd be able to keep producing content without the wonderful support from our Patreon family!!
Thank you for filming what you eat, in my opinion that has as much value as your destinations
Our pleasure!
I would watch Lee meditate. 😍😍😍
Wonderful again! I"m enjoying catching up with you guys, as I've not been well and have missed you! Love your bamboo toothbrush! Thank you and sooooo good to see you all and Occy having fun with the new girl! Heheeeeeee Xo
You two are great but Occy is the STAR!
erie sniper no denying it!
I loved this! The drone footage is done so well 😍 I love the vlogs, cooking and more informational videos too ☺️💕 I’m glad things with the van are starting to look better! & I loved Occy in Pablo Escobar’s pool 😍🐶💕
Aww thanks Jackie!
Lovely views and impressive rock! How sore were your legs the next day though?! Spontaneous, accidental workouts are my fave!
Absolutely fine Maria! Turns out we are fitter than we thought ❤️
Your content has had such quality lately and I am here for it 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏼
Bianka Andrea aww thank you!
Stunning intro. Beautiful place. And the hostel. ♥ Please, never feel forced to film anything it's your channel.
Aww thank you Bernie!! Good point and one we sometimes forget!
@@MaxLeeandOccy but also stop to think...maybe that is exactly why you had this meteorical rise to almost 200k subs. You forget yourselves and give what people want and they lap it up (I do too...a big fan)!
Once again thanks for the amazing video! Love getting to see this every Sunday! Luv you guys!! Can't wait for your next adventure!!!!
Thank you for being a part of it!!
10:44 "Good job on your smashing ability." -Lee
😂
Just when I thought my fav Vanlifers couldn’t get any cooler....you stay there.....wow!
H20 Dogz haha aww ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, I can just imagine the parties that went on in Pablo’s old house!😳😂
Jennifer Jones Right!
Yeah now i can feel it hows the party in house of escobar.👍
Imagine how many people he killed over there
Loving your videos, it makes me think how amazing it would be to just finally have the best time of your lives. I love how everything's surreal, such an inspiration!
Aww stoked you are enjoying them Mary! Thank you for being a part of the adventure!
I, for one, would really like that hummus recipe or maybe even a general cooking recipe with that as an example?
I am not vegetarian or vegan, but would like hummus recipe that I could get behind.
Haha ok when i get the blades back I will put it in a future video Rick!
This is my favourite of your videos so far!! Loved the images, colours and the music is amazing too! Really enjoyed watching!
Aw thanks Christin, we are so happy to hear that xx
I think everything is interesting. Buying grocery, Columbias history, its people, the plants - whatever. Great video as ever, thank you for taking us along
Thanks for the suggestions D X and thank you for being a part of the journey!
love colombia so far, great to see you with a more smooth sailing 😘😘😘😍😍😍
Oscar Rosas thanks Oscar! Definitely a nice change and yes a stunning country so far!!
Viva Colombia
Great video and experience
Jessie Lemus thank you! Viva Colombia!
Really, whatever you share is going to be great. It is just something about the tow of you and Occy! You are all so lovable! I am so happy to see how quickly your channel has exploded and I am very impressed with how quickly your video filming and editing skills have skyrocketed. Just keep doing you!
Z.J. Maayan aww thank you we appreciate that!
Love ❤😘 from India 🇮🇳 guys, nice blog
I enjoy the travel and information part of the videos with the scenery of what is around in the areas you are in. Also any issues about dealing with locals and local services, merchants, etc. But in the end, I just enjoy whatever you guys post. Thanks for bringing us along. I appreciate it!
Noted, thanks for your suggestions! We appreciate your on going support xx
cooking vegan in the van videos would be awesome. like recipe videos :) i would like to start eating more vegan / vegetarian dishes and good recipes are much appreciated. your vlog was awesome, as always :D
Aww thank you Jasmin and great suggestions! Our friends Eamon and Bec are putting out a vegan ebook soon and we can't wait to start trying their recipes! Good on you for giving it a go 😊
This sounds exactly like Max......does Lee ever comment or just you? Lol jk mates I’m being silly but vegan is awesome and I love this channel along with its comments:):):) cheers! Y’all Rock💯God bless
I totally agree!!!💖❤💖
Lunch at the top of the world. What a view, what a lunch!
What's the story with the intro 'Max & Lee' then '+ Occy'
Shouldn't it be 'OCCY! + Max & Lee' ? ;)
Hahaha
Glad to see you both taking your vehicle maintenance very seriously on such a challenging trip. Installing an extra fuel filter and adding fuel injector cleaner to the fuel periodically will also minimize the clogging problems which the outlying areas are known for.
You also both seem to be greatly de-stressed and very much at home in today’s video which is good to see. Looking forward to more videos of this higher caliber, so keep up the good work, have fun but always be aware of your surroundings to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Vaya Con Dios, amigos y tengan cuidado!
Great advice Jim and thank you!
The best vloging couple i ever seen❤️❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️love from india i am seriously jealous of you guyzz😂😂 both of you look lovely
Amo mi pais "COLOMBIA"🇨🇴🇨🇴😚😍😍es hermosa gracias por visitarnos🎉
Love your travel videos. But don’t force it. The videos are best when you’re enjoying yourselves.
We couldn't agree more!
That landscape! Wow!
When occy isn't allowed to go to some of the places. What do you do with him?
Oh ok. I wouldn't either. Lol
You are so pleasant to watch with great vibes,your way of living motivates me :D :D keep having fun
I would love to see Lee do a female self care routine of some kind 😊💖 Love you Guy's!!!
Thanks for the suggestion Gemma!
Awesome, interesting video! Now I understand why you wanted to go to So. America! The photos of the cities, the slums?the land are gorgeous!! Love that you both cook, share chores, etc. Look forward to the next one! 💜💚💙
Thank you! And yes!! Colombia is a favourite of so many travelers. Couldn't miss it!!
Hi, do you have problems crossing the borders with your pet?
Y'all by far have the best van-lifer videos on RUclips!
Stoked to be your #1!!!
